GMail has been adding IMAP to gmail lately. Not all accounts have it yet. But it's there and working on my acct and my Tilt.

IMAP doesn't work properly for a lot of users, myself included. It doesn't display the body of the email 90% of the time it seems.

gmail apparently knows that IMAP is kinda wonky for WM5/6 users.

They're "working on it"
And yeah, I have the same problem. I get the header, but never the body. I thought it might be only on threads since they do email threads different than most, but even new emails don't seem to work properly.

Same problem here. They haven't fixed it yet. I hope it won't take long, because this sucks.

I've learned to just use it as a notification. If the header interests me, I'll pull up the mobile version of Gmail.

Looks like Google has it fixed as they now have specific instructions for setting up IMAP on WM6

I was getting really annoyed that IMAP was enabled on my account... and then I came across a post on MODACO that stated that you need to have your language set to English (US). Since I was using English (UK), IMAP was not enabled.
IMAP not enabled, try this:
1. Goto your gmail inbox
2. Click on "settings" in the upper right
3. On the "general" tab, set "language" to "english (us)
4. Click "save changes"
Presto, IMAP will be available!
